“We parted— that night the best of friends. They used the rope—not that a rope was at all necessary, but because Ann Veronica’s exalted state of mind made the fact of the rope agreeably symbolical; and, anyhow, it did insure a joint death in the event of some remotely possibly mischance. Larry fell off the truck the Wednesday night before she planned on leaving.
